Low-Wage Workers
The companies mentioned in “In Fast Food, Some See Fast Track” [March 12] are a perfect example of why people come to this country illegally, and why business loves to hire hard-working, cheap, illegal workers.
Just as an example, go visit one of these restaurants in a predominantly white or black community. You will see a disproportionate number of middle-aged Latinos working there.
As for suburban American youths leaving fast-food jobs for “cooler” jobs, that’s not quite true. They’re just smarter; they go where the money’s better.
